Important Note on BWAM events

These events are solely for Members and Associates of Bournemouth & Wessex Advanced Motorcyclists. If you want to become a member then take a look at what we do and find out about BWAM and the IAM advanced motorcycle test.

All BWAM Group organised rides are conducted according to the IAM's guidelines for Group Organised Rides:

  • There will always be an Observer participating in (if not leading) the ride.
  • All Associates must have been cleared for group riding.
  • Participants in group organised rides are responsible for their own safety and compliance with the law, and should at all times ride within their own capabilities.

Any ride that doesn't meet these requirements is deemed not to be a group organised ride, and will not be associated with BWAM or the IAM.

BWAM CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST RUN

Once again Jon Dunn has been organising the above ride and says

"It's that time of year again  -  probably the coldest, wettest BWAM Social Event of the year!
 
This year we'll be heading back to our friends at Henstridge Airfield again, via some of the nicest roads in Dorset, for a healthy breakfast.
 
As usual, we will ride in two separate groups, one suitable for Full Members, with the Associates and Observers in the other.

Therefore, all Members and Associates are welcome.
 
Meet at Forest Inn, Ferndown at 9.00am, in time for the Pre-Ride Briefing/s at 9.20, leaving Promptly at 9.30am.
 
We should all reach Henstridge at around 11.00am for nourishment, after that the rest of the day is your own.
 
If you could drop me a line at Associates@bwam.org.uk to let me know that you'll be joining us, that will help me to keep 'Geoff the Chef' and his gang happy and well informed of likely numbers.
 

 Thank you"

DECEMBER CLUB NIGHT - 16th at 7.30pm.

CHAIRMAN'S FUN QUIZ AND FREE BUFFET

 

 


 

December club night sees the return of the annual chairman's quiz when everyone is welcome to attend as are partners.

As is usual teams of up to 6 are welcome and most teams are actually formed on the evening so it is never an issue if you have not made prior arrangements.

Once again the club is putting on a complimentary buffet (which doesn't happen very often!) for all members and guests which will be served half way through the quiz.

The fun quiz evening is our December club night and as such is always a good social get together with existing friends and perhaps friends you are about to meet for the first time so please make every effort to support the evening as we don't want too much food left at the close of play.

For clever members or carefully selected teams there is always a chance of taking a prize away as well!

We look forward to seeing you on Monday 16th at our usual venue, Cobham Sports and Social Club, Merley, BH21 3DA starting at 7.30pm.
